Martial Arts, Fitness, and Protection Academy Est. 1990
Training
Every class is American Freestyle. It is not locked to one traditional style. We take what works and fit it to the student.
American Freestyle pulls the strongest tools from several arts and trains a method that adapts to you. If a style does not fit a body, we do not force the body to fit the style.
United Martial Arts runs four kinds of classes.
Martial Arts with roots in American Freestyle. It builds confidence, discipline, fitness, and the ability to protect yourself, using what works from several arts and fitting it to the abilities of the student.
Fitness Kickboxing is bag work taught by kickboxers. It builds strength, conditioning, and cardio — about 800 calories an hour — with real stance, hands, kicks, and knees. There is no choreography and no sparring required.
Practical Tactical Protection is a different class. It teaches bodyguard basics and a protection mindset for ordinary days: how to read a situation, prevent it when you can, and respond when you must. The work covers carjacking, home invasion, travel, and public outings, especially for families and anyone at higher risk. It is an active class. It is not a martial arts class, and it is not a fitness class.
SP³ARCis a one-day women's self-defense camp. It is not a sport class and not a traditional style. It trains awareness, posture, and a response a student can use when she cannot walk away. One in three women will face physical or sexual violence in her lifetime, most often in an ordinary place and often from someone she knows. The camp is built so she does not have to meet that day unprepared.
